Hello, Mate!
I’ve finally arrived in Bali! I had planned this trip for years, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was postponed until last week. Sorry
Mid-term Test Description

for not contacting you sooner.

I haven’t arranged a fix date for my flight back to Perth, but I guess I’ll be here for about a month or two. College doesn’t start until
January, and I don’t have much to do at home anyway. I’m thinking about traveling to Jakarta. It’d be nice if we could actually meet in
person, but I’m not sure if you can. I also don’t know exactly the current pandemic situation in Jakarta. Do you think it’s a good idea
for me to travel there around this month?
By the way, I’ve told you about my uncle’s coffee shop in Ubud, right? He’s planning to open another one in the southern part of the
island. He offered me to join and work for him there. It’s a nice offer. I like the business and I think it’s running well. Besides, my
college has an option for online learning so I can still continue my study. But I don’t know yet. Bali is great but living here
permanently is something I must think seriously. What do you think?
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Please write back soon.
Yours,
James
